Introducing the EcoShipYard project - Empowering EU shipyards/ship owners with tools for assessing ships' environmental impact and shipyard processes - which will create an 'EU-material passport' for ships. The aim is to monitor the source and utilisation of #materials involved in the #construction, upkeep, #repair and dismantling of ships, tracking their origin and use to provide crucial details for the circular handling of materials. The solutions created within EcoShipYard will contribute to minimising the #environmentalimpact of #shipyards, enhanced #energyefficiency, streamlined operations, and measurement and reduction of non-operational impacts. The project partners are National Technical University of Athens, American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Atlantec Enterprise Solutions, Astilleros de Santander S.A.U., Azimut|Benetti Group, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Danaos Shipping Co. Ltd, Epsilon Malta Ltd, Floorganise, software for shipyard operations., Grieg Green, ISQ, LTH-Baas, ShipReality Inc., University of Strathclyde Naval Architecture & Engineering, WEGEMT and TWI Hellas.

Today marks a special day in a project that we are following closely. With the mounting of the keel the sailing yacht zero is one big step closer to sailing the oceans - and eventually operating without using fossil fuels. We’ve been following the construction of Zero very closely for a while, for all its interesting and innovative technology on board. Fundamental for the design and build of this project is the close collaboration between the industry leaders VRIPACK DESIGN, Vitters Shipyard and Dykstra Naval Architects, and the support of many industry experts. We are so curious to see its next steps and will showcase more interesting technology used in the project here. #RenewableEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #Innovation #MarineEngineering #TechInnovation #ShipTechnology

Catriona Savage, President of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects, emphasises the pivotal role naval architects play in building a sustainable maritime industry. “The cheapest and most effective time to implement green solutions is during the early design stages,” she says. From hull optimisation to rotor sails and air lubrication systems, a wealth of technologies is already helping to make ships more efficient. However, scaling these innovations and integrating them into fleets remains a challenge. Savage stresses the importance of retrofitting older vessels while ensuring new builds adopt cutting-edge technologies. Meeting the ambitious emissions targets set by the IMO will demand collaboration, creativity, and commitment across the industry. “We can’t wait for a perfect solution — we need to act now,” she warns. For Savage, hope lies in the next generation of naval architects entering the field. “Young professionals are bringing fresh energy and a focus on sustainability,” she says. With strong leadership and cross-sector partnerships, the maritime sector can transform, meeting its targets and delivering a cleaner, greener future.

New project: EcoShipYard aims to revolutionise the European #shipbuilding industry by providing tools with which to assess the #environmental impact of ships and shipyard processes. Specifically, EcoShipYard will create and implement an EU-material passport for ships that will enable the source and utilisation of #materials used in shipbuilding to be monitored, and provide crucial handling details on the #circularity of these. The project partners are National Technical University of Athens, the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Atlantec Enterprise Solutions, Astilleros de Santander S.A.U., Azimut|Benetti Group, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Danaos Shipping Co. Ltd, Epsilon Malta Ltd, Floorganise, software for shipyard operations., Grieg Green, ISQ, LTH-Baas Integrated Maritime Services, ShipReality Inc., the University of Strathclyde Naval Architecture & Engineering, WEGEMT and TWI Hellas.

A week on from a great couple of days at The Superyacht Forum for Houlder Limited. Pleasure meeting new people and re-connecting with others. Particularly enjoyed the directions on sustainability, meeting the Water Revolution Foundation's YETI, the open discussion on yacht incidents and the great quick-fire format of the VRIPACK DESIGN Night Out. One slide stood out from all the information presented - showing that yachts spend just 10% of their time cruising. This almost exactly mirrored interesting incident data presented by CHIRP. It left me thinking... so much of a yacht's stability compliance is focussed on when it is cruising in "seagoing loading conditions". The conventional Departure and Arrival conditions. So do we need a re-focus on stability compliance when the yacht is not cruising? When it is spending 90% of it's time going nowhere? Certainly something worth thinking about. - Please reach out if you would like an independent appraisal of your yacht's stability booklet. - Please contact Houlder Limited for Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering consultancy services. - Credit to the Water Revolution Foundation for the slide below.

🚢 Optimizing Ship Design: Wave Resistance and Efficiency 🌊 In naval architecture, understanding the balance of wave resistance (C_W), residual resistance (C_R), and frictional resistance (C_F) is key to improving ship performance. These factors, along with concepts like the Froude number (Fn)and slenderness coefficient, help engineers design vessels that move more efficiently through water. One fascinating insight is how wave interference between the bow and stern can either boost or reduce resistance, depending on their phase. This plays a crucial role in fuel efficiency and sustainability. By mastering these principles, we’re able to craft ships that are not only faster but also more energy-efficient, paving the way for a more sustainable future in maritime transport. 🌍 #NavalArchitecture #ShipDesign #WaveResistance #Sustainability #Efficiency

VESSEL REVIEW: Chinese shipbuilder Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries (ZPMC) has handed over two new service operation vessels (SOVs) to the Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group. 'Zhicheng 60' (至诚60; “Sincere 60”) and 'Zhizhen 100' (至臻100; “Ultimate 100”) were both built to designs by Norwegian naval architecture firm Ulstein Design and Solutions. 'Zhicheng 60' and 'Zhizhen 100' will primarily be used to support operations and maintenance (O&M) of offshore wind farms, though the two vessels will have different personnel capacities as denoted by their names. 'Zhicheng 60' has space for 60 personnel on board (POB) whereas 'Zhizhen 100' will be able to accommodate 100 POB. The stern design adopted by the SOVs was developed by Ulstein to guarantee benefits such as reduced pitch, minimised wave slamming, lower power requirements, and a higher freeboard. These will enable the vessels to operate under a broader range of weather conditions compared to platforms with conventional hulls. The vessels also feature prominent inverted bows that ensure minimal noise and vibration, improved wave-piercing ability, gentler accelerations, reduced spray, and consistent speed maintenance.
